Happy holidays, everyone! As we approach Christmas eve and I didn’t have the time to write a full-fledged article, I thought this was a good time to talk about one critical area of growth for the Jaguars, Patriots, Bears and Panthers, who all won yet again this past weekend and are in the d

Chiefs Season and Offseason Analysis — And just like that, we're scheduling trips to Cancun. https://preview.redd.it/sqrcw19n1h7g1.jpg?width=791&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=77caee699eaa3d8abb4647239ac56e8f6ee324b5 I'm going to go over the various weaknesses in the roster and coaching staff, as well as addressing cap issues and potential moves for next year, including how likely they are given who our decision makers are. # Let's start with the offense: **QB:** ***Patrick Mahomes*** is the best quarterback in the league, full stop.

Chiefs’ outlook after 4 games: Breakout player, best development, and updated odds — [Paywall-free](https://archive.is/1ya2v) Are the Chiefs better or worse than expected through four games? Worse, though things are trending upward. Most disappointing is the 2-2 record, though K.C. has faced a difficult schedule. The Chiefs added to the degree of difficulty for this season by losing the opener to the Chargers — which puts their streak of nine consecutive AFC West titles at greater risk. There’s also this: The Buffalo Bills are undefeated and have a light schedule ahead. They

And while the lack of pressure is a concern, it’s just one of several issues that have led to two straight losses to start the season. >Recognizing the pass rush could be improved this past offseason, Chiefs general manager Brett Veach spent two of his three Day 2 draft picks on defensive linemen with pass-rush upside. Veach selected defensive tackle

The Chiefs defense believes it’ll be better Week 2. It started with an apology — [Non-paywall](https://archive.is/0IjnT) Key sections: During a postgame meeting, (Steve Spagnuolo) said he didn’t feel like he’d coached his best game. “It begins with me,” Spagnuolo said Thursday in an interview with reporters. “If I sit there and critique and look in the mirror, I’ve got three or four plays and I go, ‘Nah, I shouldn’t have done that,’ that could be the difference in the game. So I, myself, want to make sure that doesn’t happen again.” “They got us on the eyes,” Cornerback

We’re one week down for the 2025 NFL season and as always, there was a lot going. Before we even had one snap from scrimmage, we had a star defender ejected for spitting at an opponent in the kickoff game, then a great AFC West quarterback battle in Sao Paulo, a Sunday slate filled with revenge stories, an early game of the year contender on Sunday night and another big-time co

An Alternative Method of Ranking the Top 10 Worst NFL Teams of All Time — Hello, when people think of the "Worst Teams of All Time", their mind usually goes to teams that couldn't win a single game, or if recency bias kicks in, they think of the worst team from the past season. And while the former is a reasonable way to look at things, I wanted to present an alternative perspective on the matter. I wanted to look at teams who were simply blown out almost every time they hit the field. Going by the Super Bowl Era onwards, I went season to season to find the worst Mo
